2021 Ford F-150 XL

The XL model of the F-150 is the entry-level model and the lowest priced at just over $34,000, but it is no slouch in the performance department. It features a 3.3-litre V6 engine under the hood, which provides excellent fuel economy, 290 horsepower, and 265 lb-ft of torque. Multiple cab configurations give drivers the space that they need for equipment or passengers. Tech innovations such as the dynamic hitch assist are great for drivers who want to put their F-150 XL to work.

2021 Ford F-150 XLT

Still reasonably priced but with more style and grace, the XLT is a great trim level for those that want a better equipped truck that still fits in the budget. The XLT's exterior is upgraded with a chrome two-bar style grille and silver aluminum wheels to make a significant first impression.

2021 Ford F-150 Lariat

The luxuries that the F-150 Lariat model provides makes it well worth the additional cost over the more basic XL and XLT models. The powertrain is upgraded to a turbocharged 2.7-litre Ecoboost engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. This allows the F-150 to deliver 325 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque while also increasing towing and hauling capabilities. Inside, drivers are treated to a 12-inch digital productivity screen to keep track of pertinent driving information and a SYNC 4 infotainment system that integrates voice recognition and cloud-based connectivity to give drivers a seamless driving experience.

2021 Ford F-150 Tremor

Starting at $57,329, the Tremor trim level of the 2021 Ford F-150 brings off-roading capability to drivers without too high of a price tag. The Raptor's wheels are upgraded to 18-inch aluminum wheels that offer added ground clearance and a wider stance. Factory-built for off-roading, the Tremor features Tremor-specific Monotube Shocks that offer additional damping and control for more severe off-road events and a 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 engine that delivers 400 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque.

2021 Ford F-150 Limited

For capability beyond compare, the 2021 Ford F-150 Limited trim level offers best-in-class torque output that makes it stronger than all its competitors, a massive 7.2kW output that can turn the truck into a generator, and a beautifully designed interior with leather seats and more.
